Sorry one more.

The eVisa application asks for a document that can verify your current residency without ANY examples of what they'll accept.

Any idea what's acceptable? Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The eVisa application requests a document to verify current residency without specifying accepted documents. Based on community feedback, acceptable documents include a passport showing the residency address, recent utility bills (such as an energy bill or mobile phone bill), or a hotel reservation in Thailand. Users suggest that the passport is generally the most reliable document to use for this purpose.

Neither of these apply to me, but they are required LMFAO

@Nick *********
although these requirements are pretty stupid, there have been many many posts on what to input in these fields, a search would have shown you. I fear that what you have done will only delay your application.

7 is your copy of the passport data page (IF you’re in the UK and holding a UK passport).

8 is a copy of your hotel booking.

It says, in case you're not a citizen of the country in which you're applying, but you are a citizen, so your passport should satisfy that requirement.

I've just created a jpg saying "Not applicable to me" and uploaded for these 2 questions.

Fingers crossed

can you go back in and edit? Passport biometric page and hotel accommodation confirmation. You cannot put N/A..Your application will likely be declined.
Nicholas *********
@Nick *********
all questions must be filled in

@Nicholas ********
Sure - only 2 of them don't apply to me - the two screen captured above. I have filled in the accommodation question.

7) is the mobile phone bill with your address on 8)is the hotel reservation in Thailand what you have booked
Nicholas *********
8 states identity of person inviting you . The Thai embassy said to put your hotel reservation in Thailand

@Nicholas ********
Mobile phone bill does have address - though usually people require landline (as stated above by someone)

Not sure what your second question is in relation to?
James ********
@Jim ********
as you are from the UK what will the UK Thai Embassy accept ? Thank You.
Jim *********
@James *******
the answer has been posted 100's of times people are just too lazy to look. Passport and Hotel booking satisfies requirements
James ********
@Jim ********
thank you 😊

We generally upload the passport page that has our address. That is enough proof as the passport is issued by our government.

I used my passport a few days ago and it got accepted.

@Nick *********
mobile bill as long as it has your name and address on it
James ********
@Nicholas ********
thank you for sharing😊

It’s an energy bill with your name and address on , I asked the Thai embassy and got that answer
Nick **********
ORIGINAL POSTER
@Nicholas ********
Thanks only energy bill? Not bank statement? I don't pay the energy bill here.

Seriously what were they thinking with all these questions - do they want tourists or not. I've wasted literally days on this lol.

Nice. Yeah I guess the people processing the form are humans with a brain who can use common sense - the web form just needs some work.
Richard ********
@Nick *********

I've applied for visas in maybe 20 countries before, this is by far the worst process.

But yeah, I'm sure you're right, no doubt the process will be improved just in time for the new lockdowns loool...
Nicholas *********
@Nick *********
or telephone bill that has your name and address on , either of em
Nick **********

@Nicholas ********
Don't have landline or energy bill - just mobile bill and bank statement
Nicholas *********
@Nick *********
me too buddy . As stated either an energy bill with your name on is good
James ********
@Nicholas ********
that's why I asked where he is at now.

@Nicholas ********
his profile shows living in Prague
James ********
Passport...

And are you flying to Thailand from the UK or Prague ...as your profile shows you living in Prague ?

Are you applying for the single or multiple entry tourist visa? As you was debating the two in earlier posts a few hours ago.
